Project description:Filamentous fungi are widely used in the production of biomass degrading enzymes, e.g. cellulases and pectinases. In order to study the secretome of biomass degrading fungi, proteomics studies were carried out on the extracellular proteins of fungal strains.

Project description:Wood-degrading fungi play a critical role in global carbon cycling, and their varied mechanisms for deconstruction offer pathways for industrial bioconversion. In this study, we used comparative genomics to isolate upregulation patterns among fungi with brown rot (carbohydrate-selective) or white rot (lignin-degrading) nutritional modes. Specifically, we used whole-transcriptome profiling to compare early, middle, and late decay stages on wood wafers, matching differentially-expressed gene (DEG) patterns with fungal growth and enzyme activities. This approach highlighted 34 genes uniquely upregulated in early brown rot stages, with notable candidates involved in generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) as a pretreatment mechanism during brown rot. This approach further isolated 18 genes in late brown rot stages that may be adapted to handle oxidatively-reacted lignocellulose components. By summing gene expression levels in functional classes, we also identified a broad and reliable distinction in glycoside hydrolase (GH) versus lignocellulose oxidative (LOX) transcript counts that may reflect the energy investment burden of lignin-degrading machinery among white rot fungi.

Project description:Decomposition of soil organic matter in forest soils is thought to be controlled by the activity of saprotrophic fungi, while biotrophic fungi including ectomycorrhizal fungi act as vectors for input of plant carbon. The limited decomposing ability of ectomycorrhizal fungi is supported by recent findings showing that they have lost many of the genes that encode hydrolytic plant cell-wall degrading enzymes in their saprophytic ancestors. Nevertheless, here we demonstrate that ectomycorrhizal fungi representing at least four origins of symbiosis have retained significant capacity to degrade humus-rich litter amended with glucose. Spectroscopy showed that this decomposition involves an oxidative mechanism and that the extent of oxidation varies with the phylogeny and ecology of the species. RNA-Seq analyses revealed that the genome-wide set of expressed transcripts during litter decomposition has diverged over evolutionary time. Each species expressed a unique set of enzymes that are involved in oxidative lignocellulose degradation by saprotrophic fungi. A comparison of closely related species within the Boletales showed that ectomycorrhizal fungi oxidized litter material as efficiently as brown-rot saprotrophs. The ectomycorrhizal species within this clade exhibited more similar decomposing mechanisms than expected from the species phylogeny in concordance with adaptive evolution occurring as a result of similar selection pressures. Our data shows that ectomycorrhizal fungi are potential organic matter decomposers, yet not saprotrophs. We suggest that the primary function of this decomposing activity is to mobilize nutrients embedded in organic matter complexes and that the activity is driven by host carbon supply.

Project description:Ibuprofen is one of the most commonly detected pharmaceuticals in wastewater effluent; however the effects of ibuprofen on aquatic organisms are poorly understood. This study presents the transcriptome-wide response of the inland silverside, Menidia beryllina, to chronic 14 d exposures to ibuprofen.

This study presents the transcriptome-wide response of the inland silverside, Menidia beryllina, to chronic 14 d exposures to ibuprofen. Twenty-four samples were run on twenty-four arrays, there were six replicates for each of three ibuprofen exposure concentrations and a control group.

Project description:Roots of Arabidopsis thaliana do not engage in symbiotic association with mycorrhizal fungi but host taxonomically diverse fungal communities that influence health and disease states. We sequenced the genomes of 41 isolates representative of the A. thaliana root mycobiota for comparative analysis with 79 other plant-associated fungi. We report that root mycobiota members evolved from ancestors having diverse lifestyles and retained diverse repertoires of plant cell wall-degrading enzymes (PCWDEs) and effector-like small secreted proteins. We identified a set of 84 gene families predicting best endophytism, including families encoding PCWDEs acting on xylan (GH10) and cellulose (AA9). These genes also belong to a core transcriptional response induced by phylogenetically-distant mycobiota members in A. thaliana roots. Recolonization experiments with individual fungi indicated that strains with detrimental effects in mono-association with the host not only colonize roots more aggressively than those with beneficial activities but also dominate in natural root samples. We identified and validated the pectin degrading enzyme family PL1_7 as a key component linking aggressiveness of endophytic colonization to plant health.

Project description:Purpose: To investigate the involvement of Nfat5 in the regulation of an ibuprofen transporter Method: Reverse transfection with siRNA against Nfat5 was used to knockdown Nfat5 in MDCK I cells. The uptake of both radiolabelled taurine and ibuprofen was measured in MDCK I cells, first treated with siRNA against Nfat5 for 24 h and afterwards cultivated with raffinose-supplemented normal growth medium (500 mOsm) for 24 h. The knock down of NFat5 was investigated by qpCR and western blotting. A transcriptome analysis of MDCK I cells treated with siRNA against Nfat5 was performed. Validation of the transcriptome analysis was perform with qPCR and radiolabelled uptake of ibuprofen. Results: The siRNA transfection resulted in a knock down of Nfat5, and the uptake of both taurine and ibuprofen was significant decreased in the transfected MDCK I cells. The transcriptome analysis of MDCK I cells treated with siRNA against Nfat5 revealed genes regulated by Nfat5 during hyperosmotic exposure. qPCR and the transciptome analysis showed an involvement of Nfat5 in the hyperosmotic regulation of Tmem184 and uptake in Tmem184b-siRNA treated MDCK I cells showed that Tmem184b might be involved in uptake of ibuprofen. Conclusion: The regulation of Tmem184b was found regulated by Nfat5 and could be a potential possible candidate for the gene product responsible for the uptake of ibuprofen in MDCK I cells
